Nice man. This method also worked on the squeaky *** Brembo brakes on my Sti. No more squeak and I notice the breaks bite a bit harder.

What you did is known as "burnishing". A really good mechanic burnishes pads to rotors after a brake job is done (before the vehicle is given back to the customer).

Warped rotors, Remove your wheels and use a dial indicator, max run out is 0.01-0.04
most cars are around there.
